2896: Why 95% of People Regain All Their Weight (And How to Be in the 5% Who Don't)

In this episode the guys break down why 95% of people regain all the weight they lose — covering both the method (why cardio and starvation approaches are doomed from the start) and the mentality (the tyrant, the tyrannized, the rebel, and the robot). They also get into Sal's return from vacation and how coming back to Ketone IQ after a week and a half made him realize how well it actually works, feeding grizzly bears at Bear World near Yellowstone, the Toy Story 5 iPad villain and its zero effect on the kids who watched it, kids and freedom versus helicopter parenting, the guy who injected his own semen thinking it would heal his back pain, and a specific mushroom that makes everyone who eats it see the exact same tiny people. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com. MAPS Upper Lower: https://mapsupperlower.com Code: LAUNCH for 40% off.
